The birds were singing and the sun was shining when we visited the Owego Pioneer cemetery today. By the time we got to Owego Lutheran cemetery just down the road the weather was changing. We turned our car towards Fargo as soon as we finished cleaning up Thomas's grave marker. (The marker is held in place by a root of what appears to be a dying elm tree.) Dark clouds were looming in the west. Lynn is standing beside tombstone which contains the names of his 2X Great Grandma Dorthe Henningsdatter Anderson (1829-1889), his Great Grandma Helene Marie (Vangsness) Anderson (1866-1892), and stillborn Anderson infant (1892). Lynn's Great Grandpa, Thomas Anderson (1859-1938) is laid to rest at Owego Lutheran Church cemetery. Near Thomas's marker is that of his son with Helene Marie, David/Davey Anderson (1889 in Dakota Territory, died 1946 of Polio).
